Powercrept Into The Moon - MiG-21 Lazur-M 

This is one of the better premiums jets I've played with and honestly I've had a lot of fun.

I must say, the climbing above everyone then diving on them tactic really helped me with the F-5C. Look, back in the day when I started playing WT (2013) I literally did it for one reason only, to be able to fly the F86 in test flight. Back then I had no real money that I could spend on this game, I never got premium and I never got any premium planes. The experience sucked total ass. It would take me soooo long to just research a single plane, because I was playing arcade mode as I was 'scared' of RB. When I started playing again recently, I got me a premium plane (learned the ins and outs of dogfighting in this game) and when the sale happened this year I got the F-5C and premium account for 195 days total. The climbing above everyone and then diving on them with my Aim-9's actually works quite well, since people don't really expect you, so if you catch them off guard you get easy kills from the crappy missiles. I then usually dogfight a few people and usually I absolutely destroy them. The issue I had in the beginning is I would stay low with my team and just get obliterated by the wall of missiles from F14's and Mig23's and now even damn Tornados, or I would get 3rd and 4th partied in a dogfight. I think what the climbing really does for you is you aren't part of the initial onslaught / not many people see you. I went from like a 0.5 KD at best with the F-5C to around 2 or 3 per match now just because I climb at the start

you’ve quickly become one of my favorite channels, i’ve learned so much from you and enjoyed doing it. i never miss a video

Just figured, you're having my music in your Outro! Love it mate, thanks for the support!

It's very hard to get R60M kills on people unless they are oblivious, a number of people when launching the longer range IR missiles assume you fired an R60 out if range and sometimes won't flair.

Thank you for your work, I am a noob jet pilot who has never had a problem getting on someones ass, but my gunnery is terrible, watching you reminds me of when I went to my first professional baseball game, where I really saw what was truly capable, if you worked hard enough, I appreciate your reviews greatly, as it has helped me to sort out both planes I want, and what the enemy can do as well, I know what all the various props do, but your introspectives on jets have been invaluable thank you.

These vids are so quick now but still very entertaining to watch.

I don’t understand why people don’t talk about the stale state of air RB. It really needs a fresh overhaul. High tier is too chaotic to be enjoyable. Even if your team is doing well, I find myself 1 of 4 planes chasing the one poor jet until his certain death. My F16 gathers dust until there is something worth playing.

Two things. First, F-16A not being able to turn with a MiG-21bis, holy shit. More importantly, keep in mind that Germany will likely get their own MiG-29A, so grinding with this may be useful.

Great video mate. Keep up the good work

Shenyang F-5 is a good example of a powercrept premium

Play the yak 15p

imagine hearing in the news that an F-16 got into a dogfight with a MiG-21 and lost the one circle fight.

Just picked mine up to grind for german tornado and the mig 29. Having a blast with it, the r60mk is a great missle. It fixed the main problem with the mig 21 and it's that it needed faster/better missles. It slaughters F4s and tomcats if your smart

11:40 very cinematic

That F16 looked pissed lmao

Damm last kill was just epic

Thank u❤

R-13M1 are kinda underrated imo, I wish more planes had them, or the earlier R-13M

Honey wake up DEFYN just posted !!

We are soon getting 12.0 so 11.0 is going to get more sucked down than up leaving the lazur M in a sweet spot

I think it's worth getting it now with the MiG-29 and MiG-29G

Mig 21 becomes a ufo on low fuel because its thrust to weight ratio actually becomes 1:1

Nice viedeo, i would love to see you play the cl13 sabre mk 6

Man, how many hours do you have in realistic air battles? that's crazy, you're so good, I declare you the best pilot in the world with any plane. Postscrip: i love you

I've found that the mig 23 ml players don't dodge the missiles in a Headon, the sky flash makes them easy targets

10:17 he probably went for the ai because he thought you were going to crash into the ground

”And welcome back” is among the shortest intros in the YT world. Btw, try listening on 75% speed, then he sounds more or less normal 😂

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

I want to see you play DCS would be interesting.

It's so beautiful tho

This update is the biggest power creep in awhile

You should play the MiG-17AS. I used it to grind for MiG-29 and dang is it good. Easily printed out 1 mil SL per hour without even tryharding, just casual playing.

It's funny how you are weping constantly, as Mig21 had to be very careful with afterburners, to prevent melting the engine

Man I love this jet tbh and I dont have an issue what so ever bringing a full tank of fuel honestly, I mean it probably has gotten me killed a time or 2 but I normally end up with atleast 1 kill a match most of the time atleast 2 so its whatever I'm making money and not losing it

Germany should get the Mig-29 as they HAD irl

what is your oppinon on the latest br changes?

i hope they find something to acualy fill the german air tech tree bc irl its a bit empty just phantoms tornados and a mig 29 and then the euro fighter

I think you should play props at high tier, would make for an interesting video

gg

i have seen the Skill issue decal in the wild... on a PTW Su-25K loaded for Air to Air... I give up on this community.

This thing is public enemy #1 for a10 early players

defyn lowkey goated af

@DEFYN how is that German F-4F Early these days just wondering if I made the right choice in selling the thing for over a hundred GJN ? Also thanks for the video and for helping me decide that there is no damn way I am going to drop 70 bucks on a damn rank 7 jet that is basically a copy paste from rank 6 well appreciated from your YT vids. Oh and my wallet.

Crazy that they’re uptiering the Italian F-104S’s to 11.0 when they’re not nearly as good as this mig-21 which deserves to be at 11.0

Bearcat F8F-1B gameplay please!!

You think you could do more prop game play?

Rip underskilled f16

So would you agree it’s better that it has stayed at 11.0

can you please do a video on the lf mk ix

the video is great but my parents are fighting

The strategy I’ve found for this plane is to take 4xR60MKs with 2 ZB-500 bombs and enough fuel to leave full afterburners for more than half the match. Basically just take off, stay below 150 meters and sprint for the nearest base. Once you drop your bombs, you zoom away and support your teammates (if they’ve already killed everyone then just kill some AI). If you want to just fight air targets, 2xR13M1 and 4xR60MK works well (but it’s pretty easy to get outclassed when the entire team is F14s and F16s and you have a single 29, with your whole team dying within a minute). Personally I prefer taking the bombs and hitting a base because the amount of sl you lose gets insane after a few matches of getting 7v1ed since your whole team flew straight at the enemy like smooth brains.

By the time Defyn covers the EJ ADTW it might be flyable, dare I say, competive O.O

Sad J7D noises

Worst thing they did was raise it to 11.3 now it's borderline unplayable.

Would love to see you duel jblack in bi lol

Come on DEFYN! CALL IT A LASER-M!

so I am not the only one having problems with the Gsh-23 its been real weak lately

pleaaassse can you do a video on the mig-19s germany ? i can't get a kill with this

BR changes should decompress this MM a lot I think. a lot a lot. lol

Oh nothing I can't handle. I have the su-22 M3 💀💀😨😨😭😭

Play the MiG-21 F-13

To da m o o n

Can you play the F8F-1? I have been playing It and im enjoying lately at 5.0.

Do you come from the Netherlands?

technically it should have a lead indicator buuuuuuuut gaijin seems to be very scared to add those back, for some reason

So if its just a bis...how is it a powercreep? What changes?

Im playing on ps5 and i cant fire a AA missile, it locks the enemy but i cant fire a missile? Help please 🤗 p.s is t normal in war thunder your aircraft bobbles a lot ( its almost not possible to even fly straight lol i own the mig 21 on DCS and there my mig fly perfect straight and when i turn it dont wobble all directions but in war thunder the mig wobbles like crazy why?

The f16, f14 and mig 29 need to be 12.0.

yeah, now fly it stock

Could you play F4E?

doof pls play J5N1 to make a recap on target priority and object permanence, flying that shit cured my ADHD

Mig21sau its rhe same plane with lazum i mean about ability's?

it is easy to dogfight a tomcat in the mig21 or not ?

I hate ppl like that f-16 guy,he got beat and still trying to shoot u with his guns and missles

iar 81 c please :)

Blind Hunt was one second away from switching to the F-16 when Defyn killed him...

Play the swedish b239 pls

Why R-13 missiles?

Wow I haven't heard someone use the word Chode in a while lol

I'm going to play the "noob" here for once, but what the fuck is going on with SARHs at top tier? I can avoid most of them no problem, but sometimes it seems that even if you pull the textbook "notching+chaff" on the damn thing, the missile still doesn't give a fuck. What's the big idea?

Actually the Mig 21 bis doesnt have the big countermeasure dongle, the smt is the only one with it in game 🤓

Surprising how fast the lazur turns with low fuel. That f-16 was going way too slow though.. f-16 FM at very low speeds right now is trash. He could have just accelerated away and Defyn wouldn't have been able to do anything with the trash r-60mks. One flare is all it takes per missile and F-16 has way more acceleration. Get some distance, turn back in and force the headon, which f-16 always wins due to the sparrows. After that, it's just a sparrow/9l lottery - if Defyn manages to dodge all of the missiles, again, f-16 can just burn out and rearm. Just a very poor (or lazy) pilot on the other end.

Play the yak3

Day 2 of asking for a P51D30 video the last time you made a video about it was 2 years ago. I lov u DEFYN!!!

Play the MiG 3 lol

"I don't see how anyone could say war thunder is copy and paste." 63 Mig 21's later....

2nd lol

First

Roses are red Lemons have a funny taste The MiG-21bis Lazur-M is a copy and paste

Without a shadow of a doubt the single biggest piece of shit I've collected in War Thunder. Don't waste your money, it's trash.

Gaijin needs to stop rewarding fighters for bombing in air rb. I've had 10 games with 3+ premium mig 23s arguing over who gets what base. Only won 2 out of the 10 because my team would have 3 fighters base rushing directly into f-14/16s without even trying to dodge. The same ppl would then turn around and cry about US planes being overpowered and how it's impossible to grind despite having a $70 rank 7.

FISHBEDD

Day 1 of asking for Harrier FRS1
